Rick,

there is no Russian version, but using Russian keyboard and fonts is 
fine. I did create Russian, Polish and Hungarian templates this year, 
all languages officially unsupported. Including correct index sorting.

Talking about "locked characters" (I call them blind spots in 
FrameMaker's eyes): From the cyrillic codepage only some Macedonian 
and some Serbocroatian characters fall onto those, you can access 
_all_ characters necessary for Russian text.

You need fonts that either follow strictly the Windows-1251 codepage, 
or you use Unicode fonts with Registry-activated FontSubstitutes.

All this can be made to work with WebWorks Publisher conversion as well.

If you have any questions, I would be glad to assist you.

- Michael
